Red Cross visits Saddam
2004-02-21
Posted in entirety...Not much detail yet.
Officials from the International Committee of the Red Cross Thingy visited former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein on Saturday, an ICRC spokeswoman said. "The visit took place this morning Baghdad time," Antonella Notari told Reuters in Geneva. She said the visit took place in Iraq but she did not disclose exactly where, under agreement with U.S. forces holding Saddam since his capture in December.

#2  And if they attack that location, the security there will mow them down like grass. You think we're gaurding Saddam with Iraqi Police? Tanks and Blackhawks over Turbans.

#1  Two thought (at least two that aren't nasty):

1. Why wasn't the ICRC as vocal and pushy about visiting Saddam's prisoners (especially the ones destined to be fed feet-first into industrial shredders)?

Never mind, I know the answer.

2. I hope the Americans moved Saddam to a temporary location before the ICRC was allowed to visit (but let the ICRC think it's the permanent location). Their "agreement" not to disclose the location where they met Saddam isn't worth the paper it isn't written on.

I'd bet a decent sum of money there's an attack soon against the location where the ICRC saw Saddam.
